"Ah, such a pity," Zhou Kai sighed, "That girl was so pretty, and what a figure too. Lin Chuan bro, if I were you, I wouldn't pass up on such a fine piece of meat, tsk tsk…"

"Get lost!" Lin Chuan gave him a stern glance, "Go take care of your own business."

"Hehe, alright then!" Zhou Kai legged it, as if afraid that Lin Chuan's fist would come crashing down on him.

After Zhou Kai left, Lin Chuan's mood inexplicably improved a bit. Regarding the matter of Fang Yuan, Lin Chuan suddenly felt that he might be too impatient. If Fang Yuan really was to be punished by the organization, even if he acted now, it was probably too late.

Exiting the Eight Horses Tea House, the night outside had turned very dark.

Lin Chuan stepped in the moonlight, heading back to Changlin Factory.

Crossing the intersection of Huai Mountain South Road, a right turn and it's Changlin Factory. Huai Mountain South Road is a main artery in the eastern part of the city, an eight-lane thoroughfare in both directions, very wide, with metal railings separating the oncoming from the outgoing lanes. Lin Chuan crossed the traffic lights, passed over the pedestrian crossing.

After Huai Mountain South Road, the lights dimmed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pitch-black road. The road was incredibly dark and lacking any light. Not many girls dared to walk this road at night.

As soon as Lin Chuan arrived at the entrance of Changlin Factory, he immediately felt something was off.

Behind him, a black Honda minivan followed at a slow pace, maintaining a distance of more than fifty meters, but since leaving the Eight Horses Tea House, the car had been following him without a break. This indicated the person was tailing him.

A sly smile curved on Lin Chuan's lips; if someone was not afraid to die, then he had nothing more to say.

In reality, Lin Chuan never considered the person following him to be a formidable figure. He thought it might be a foe sent by the "Northeast Tiger" or that unyielding guy, Long Wu. In any case, it would never cross Lin Chuan's mind that the person would be a visitor from the Golden Triangle. Had he known, Lin Chuan would definitely not have taken it so lightly.

Bang...

Suddenly, a bullet whizzed through the gap between Lin Chuan's arm and torso.

The scorching bullet tore through Lin Chuan's clothes and grazed the skin on his arm. In that instant, Lin Chuan reacted, leaping forward, planting his hands on the ground, and swiftly diving into a patch of greenery.

"Damn, it's a light rifle," Lin Chuan gasped without daring to breathe heavily.

The fact that the other party had brought a light rifle meant they had definitely come prepared. With such being the case, they must have a significant background. Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes, moving stealthily on all fours. This was his usual style.

He moved very slowly because moving too fast might catch the other party's attention. Although there were no street lights at the entrance of Changlin Factory, it was pitch black.

Bang bang...

Two more crisp sounds, the bullets landed not far from Lin Chuan, he could clearly hear the crisp sounds of the bullets striking the stones. As expected, the other party had shot at the location where he had just darted into the greenery. Lin Chuan couldn't help but raise a sly smile on his lips; it seemed that they still didn't know that he was a well-trained soldier. Therefore, this gave him a natural advantage. Lin Chuan moved slowly towards the other party, but he was always shifting within the greenery.

"Damn, I didn't hit him," a man in a black outfit jumped down from the car.

Another man wearing sunglasses also got out of the co-driver's seat; both were burly and formidable. One of them held a light rifle in both hands. The man in sunglasses had a silver pistol in his grip. They assisted each other.

"Could he have run away?" the man with sunglasses asked.

"I don't know," replied the man in black, shaking his head.

"Let's go over and search," said the man with sunglasses.

"Okay," the man in black put away the weapon in his hands, and then said softly: "According to intelligence, this guy is quite skilled. We need to be careful."

"Okay," the man with sunglasses nodded, "Hmph, what's the use of being strong? Once he falls into the hands of we brothers, isn't he as good as dead?"

"Hehe..." The man in black pulled out two sharp military spikes from his waist, the spikes gleaming coldly, each with blood grooves that emitted a bloody glow. Obviously, these spikes had been used before and had tasted blood. The man in black waved his hand and said, "Old Two, let's go."

"Hmm," the man with sunglasses moved slowly and surrounded the area.

They encircled from both ends of the greenery toward the middle. No matter what, their target must be hiding in the greenery. Even if he were dead, they had to find him. If he was still alive and dared to burst out, it would certainly spell his doom. Old Two's double military spikes were not just for show, and his silver pistol's accuracy was unparalleled. The two were experts from the Wa State Army of the Golden Triangle, and the General highly approved of their strength.

Had it not been for Lin Chuan turning the Golden Triangle upside down last time, causing unrest in Headless Town, the General would probably not have sent these two experts to deal with Lin Chuan. In the General's view, with these two on the case, Lin Chuan was doomed.

The two searched meticulously, moving forward cautiously, wary of the shrubs in the greenery that only reached thigh height where Lin Chuan might be crouching. The shrubs in the greenery were dense and there were also tall weeds, with tall osmanthus trees every five meters. Being very careful, they kept a vigilant search.

Lin Chuan, hiding in the greenbelt, was also extremely tense. Judging by these two guys' search posture and alertness, they were definitely not ordinary soldiers. It seemed they had undergone some standard training. It looks like there must be someone skilled secretly assisting and supporting within the Wa State Army.

Lin Chuan lay on the ground, slowly taking off a sharp dagger from his calf, thin as a cicada's wing.

With his index and middle fingers, he gently pinched the dagger, directly in front of him was a man in black holding a military spike, and behind him was the man in sunglasses clutching a silver pistol. Both were less than ten meters away from him. Ten meters was the optimal distance for an attack — too far, and the killing power wasn't enough; too close, and it would easily startle the enemy.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chuan decided to attack the man in sunglasses with the pistol first; after all, his firearm was obviously more difficult to counter. So, Lin Chuan was very vigilant. However, the man with the silver pistol was behind him, and turning around might alert him.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Chuan finally decided to make his move. He gently shifted his direction.

At this moment, the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, leaving Lin Chuan with less and less time. As the enemy was about to approach, Lin Chuan remained calm and unhurried. This kind of thing couldn't be rushed. Seeing that the enemy was only about five meters away from him, Lin Chuan finally changed direction.

The man with the pistol seemed to sense something. He stiffened slightly.

"What's wrong?" the man in black holding the military spike quickly asked.

"I heard something," the man in sunglasses frowned.

"Heh heh, he's getting anxious," the man in black revealed a sinister smile, saying, "We're getting close to the target soon, you'd better be careful."

"It's you who should be careful!" the man in sunglasses grinned, "I've got a gun in my hand; he can't do anything to me."

"Haha..." The man in black actually laughed out loud.

At this point, they seemed to be taking things lightly. In their eyes, Lin Chuan was like a turtle in a jar, easily caught. Little did they know, the enemy hidden in the shadows was a powerful one. Even though they were highly skilled, they couldn't match him.

Whoosh...

Just as they were laughing happily, suddenly, a flash of white light shot out from the greenbelt.

Pffft...

In an instant, the sharp tip shot towards the man in sunglasses.

The man in sunglasses also reacted promptly, lifting his hand reflexively to protect his head. The sharp blade immediately pierced into his arm.

Hissss...

The man instantly felt a sharp pain, and the silver pistol dropped to the ground. Meanwhile, Lin Chuan sprang out from the greenbelt like a spring. He rushed toward the man in sunglasses at high speed. The man in sunglasses was first stabbed by the dagger, then was greeted with a flurry of punches and kicks.

Bang bang...

After two punches, he felt as if his chest was on fire. The man in sunglasses was forced back several steps, quickly retreating.

"Damn it," the man cried out in pain.

"Old Two." The man in black grit his teeth and chased after him swiftly.

As the man in black was about to pounce, Lin Chuan suddenly wheeled around to return. Unbeknownst to when, he had another thin-as-wing dagger in his hand. The two stood off for three seconds, and the man in black said, "Kid, you're courting death."

"That's quite the audacity," Lin Chuan scoffed, "murdering in the middle of the night, and you dare say I'm courting death."

"Enough talk," the man snarled, lunging at Lin Chuan quickly.

Lin Chuan swiftly took two steps backward, leaping out from the greenbelt. The opponent followed quickly, keeping up with Lin Chuan's speed, sticking tightly behind him.

Bang...

Lin Chuan suddenly pulled a swift counterattack, the opponent's eyes widened, and he barely managed to block the attack with his palm, quickly stepping back two paces. He was panting heavily, gritting his teeth, "Kid, you're dead today."

"Who lives and who dies is not yet certain," Lin Chuan said coldly, "tell me, who sent you."

Given the opponent's skills, they were definitely not ordinary assassins. So, Lin Chuan didn't hesitate to rule out Song Ming, the Tiger of the Northeast, and Long Wu. The only possibility was that he was being targeted by a high-level organization, or enemies from his past.
